More PSP games compatible with PS Vita than initial 275-game list lets on

Last week I posted a news story where Sony tells you how to transfer digital PSP games from your PSN SEN account. Along with the simple instructions, they also provided a list of Vita-compatible games, a paltry 275 out of the several hundred available for purchase on the PlayStation Store. I was sad that many of my favorites didn’t seem to make the initial cut — Valkyria Chronicles II, Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords, and were the ones that hurt the most.

Well, it seems that several games were inexplicably left off of that list, as several people are reporting that Valkyria Chronicles II is transferrable from a PS3. I tried it out and can confirm it to be true. I also gave a few other unlisted games a shot, and was able to transfer Puzzle Quest and Crush. Alas, PixleJunk Monsters is indeed currently incompatible.

So if you skimmed that list of titles and didn’t see your favorites, I encourage you to try transferring them from your PS3 via the Vita’s Content Manager. The worst that can happen is a waste of time and bandwidth.

“Tried it out and can confirm it to be true”. Man, if this isn’t an attempt at you to troll those without Vitas yet by boasting that you are playing VCII on Vita. Why don’t you go ahead and slap Monster Hunter on there while you’re at it, Joe?

Haha, not what I was going for! And I’m not currently *playing* VCII, I just wanted to have it on-board. If it makes you feel any better, I forgot to transfer my save from my PSP Go before I formatted and sold it to buy the Vita in the first place.
